Pros

Some nice people who you can vent to about the headaches, stress, and panic attacks this company triggers

Cons

This undoubtedly is a horrid, toxic company and I say this as someone who has been in a product development field for nearly 30 years. Within my first week of employment there, I knew it was not the right fit but needed the job due to COVID . Honest to goodness wished I listened to friends/acquaintances who warned me ahead of time about this place. It’s non stop, you’re up all hours of the night working, changes are made at the last minute and leadership cannot make up their minds. I quit after a couple months because this place severely impacted my mental and physical health to the point of being burned out and no company whatsoever is worth it. Truly read the reviews because you will learn very quickly what a mess this place is. People leave constantly and they’re not invested in having long term relationships and putting value into their employees. It’s a revolving door so run while you can

Pros

Some good peers that make the days slightly bearable with the group chat of how ridiculous and hellish the place is

Cons

The speed and agility are just code names for ceo paranoia and inability to make and stick to decisions. Toxic environment perpetuated by the lifers. Entire departments are pit against each other. A culture of public shaming and blaming with a side of discrimination and misogyny. It is absolute chaos and makes you regress professionally because after a while all you do is “yes” the ceo and do things the Shark way which is essentially the Mark way and 0% what other orgs would do or what you learned about/experienced previously. Micromanaging starts from the very top. Product issues daily. People cry daily. Ridiculously high turnover. So much bullying and favoritism. Extremely top heavy and lots of VPs+ to attend meetings but not enough people to actually work. Those in leadership are also unprofessional and liabilities. No work life balance. No respect. Backstabby. Even the meeting are aggressive and called hacks, red teams, sledge hammer approach etc. The best way to be successful here is to be a super caffeinated visible sycophant that is fine with no life outside of work. People note the high comp but it’s not worth it and is not enough compared to the hours actually worked and all the stress and anxiety that comes with it. The moral and mental health here are the lowest I’ve ever seen.
